Simply put, larger planets are easier to detect by pretty much all the methods we use for finding exoplanets. The two most successful methods are the transit method and the radial velocity method. The transit method involves detecting the drop in a star's apparent brightness as a planet passes in front of it and blocks a small amount of the light. Larger planets will obviously block more light. The radial velocity technique measures the "wobble" of the parent star caused by the planet's gravity. More massive planets will have stronger gravity and thus produce a larger wobble.

Who will win in a fight a small woman or a large man?
Unless the small woman is a Master in martial arts like Kung Fu or Karate, the large man is will most likely be the winner.
Who would win in a fight between a small man and a large man?
Dwarfs because of their sheer strength and laser beams attached to their heads.
Why are there large provinces in the west and small provinces in the maritime regions?
most likely due to geography, PEI is an island, Nova Scotia is almost an island and perhaps mountains on the west of New Brunswick.
Our unique solar system how it got here?
There is probably nothing unique about our solar system. Scientists once thought that planets might be rare, but we're finding that planets appear to be as common as dirt; we know of over 400 "exoplanets" circling other stars. So far, our technology isn't good enough to locate a planet as small as Earth, but with big planets as common as they are, there's no reason to think that "ordinary" worlds will be any more rare.
How are all the five large nations of Oceania different from the small islands?
The large nations have more developed economies
How do scientists use scientific notation?
Scientists use scientific notation to compute very large or very small numbers.
What is something that scientists use to explain something that is very small or very large?
Scientists use the concepts of scale and magnitude to explain phenomena that are very small or very large. These concepts help put the size of objects or events into perspective by comparing them to familiar objects or distances. Scientists also use scientific notation to express very large or very small numbers in a more manageable way.
What allows scientists to study things that may be too large or too small?
A lens.
Who said that an atom is a small positive charged nucleus surroundedc by a large region in which scientists can predict where an electron is likely to be found?
Rutherford gave this model. It is also called planetary model.
What is something scientists use to help explains something that is very small or very large?
a model.
Are large populations less likely to survive than small populations are?
false
Why scientific notation useful to scientists?
Scientific notation produces convenient numbers when working with very small or very large quantities.
What is it called when scientists collect data from a small group and generalize their conclusions to a large group?
Sampling. just did that today in science.
Who will win in a fight a small woman or a large man?
Unless the small woman is a Master in martial arts like Kung Fu or Karate, the large man is will most likely be the winner.
Why do scientists use models of natural systems not telliing your answer?
Scientists use models of natural systems because these systems are often too large,too small, or too complex to study directly
What have astronomers discovered by measuring small gravitational wobbles in stars?
Astronomers have discovered exoplanets orbiting stars by measuring the small gravitational wobbles in the motion of the stars. These wobbles indicate the presence of an orbiting planet pulling on the star with its gravity, causing it to move slightly. This method, known as the radial velocity technique, has been crucial in detecting numerous exoplanets outside our solar system.
What is the term for the way scientists use only a few numbers to represent a very large or very small number?
This is scientific (or exponential) notation.
